Enabling Periodic Reauthentication

You can enable periodic 802.1X client reauthentication and specify how often it occurs. If you do not

specify a time value before enabling reauthentication, the interval between reauthentication attempts is

3600 seconds.

Automatic 802.1X client reauthentication is a per-interface setting and can be set for clients connected

to individual ports. To manually reauthenticate the client connected to a specific port, see the “Changing

the Quiet Period” section on page 40-81.
